The benefits it gives us made us luckier that we can now preserve and duplicate our books and other papers alike without using conventional means of printing. But thanks a lot to this process for transformation in printing world had come to its fullest development.Before anything else, did you know where printing press first originates? And how does it help people? To further understand essence of printing press lets have a closer look at its history. Basically, printing is process of making multiple copies of a document by use of movable characters or letters. This process was actually developed independently in China and Europe. Before invention of printing, multiple copies of a manuscript had to be made by hand, a laborious task that could take many years. Printing made it possible to produce more copies in a few weeks than formerly could have been produced in a lifetime by hand. Invented by Johann Gutenberg in c1450, printing press made mass publication and circulation of literature possible. Derived from presses farmers used to make olive oil, first printing press used a heavy screw to force a printing block against paper below. The operator worked a lever to increase and decrease pressure of block against paper. The invention of printing press, in turn, set off a social revolution that is still in progress. The German printing pioneer Johannes Gutenberg solved problem of molding movable type. Once developed, printing spread rapidly and began to replace hand-printed texts for a wider audience.
